I work 10 hour night shifts. For the 2 years I've been working at this particular job, I told myself that I need to give up cycling to work again until I find something new, or possibly new housing closer to work. However, I recently discovered a route Im able to take. I use one of the park and ride locations that are available in my state, park my car there while I sleep, bike home and then back to drive the usual highway route to work. By my calculations, it reduces my miles by 35%, if I work 4 days a week, and by 30%, if I work 3 days a week. I'm a student, so the 3 day work weeks are my usual. But also, the city where I work is where most of my errands and doctor's appointments take place. The errands I had to run today and tomorrow allowed me to use the same strategy as my work days and save even more miles. I'm the type of cyclist who has a hard time getting out there unless I have a 'mission' to force me out there. It's actually made me so happy- I'm kind of emotional over the fact that I'm going to be able to ride to work again. 2 days and 24 miles under my belt, its only up from here friends!

I don’t understand your post but yes, more exercise is better than less exercise.
My commute is only about 14km round trip, 3 times a week. Throw in a few detours for hills and it’s massively improved my baseline cardio.
